This story got me choked up and I'm not even a huge pet lover.Sure I've had four dogs in my life that I loved dearly. Even stood by and held the best dog ever as they put him down then cried like a baby afterwards. I'm just saying I'm no animal activist, no animal rescuer, nothing like that.

This story is about an abused animal that was just too far gone for rehabilitation to work. Authorities had no responsible choice but to euthanize the Cane Corso/Mastiff. The story doesn't end there though. How Charlene Rosenbaum treated this dog right up until the very end was a thing of beauty. Read what she did here.
